Even on the darkest night when empty promise means emptyHand. And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red. And when the lights of home are fading quickly then look to me.I’ll be your homing angel, I’ll be in your head.--------------------------------------------- ALEXANDERgaryDOYLEMuggle studies apprentice--------------------------------------------- I go by Alex and not by Alexander.20 years and counting the days of my life. I was born on 20th April, or so I believe. I am a half-blood and an ex raven claw. I am currently broken hearted but my life’s not so bad. You see I have this thing going with Erys Grace. Its not love its just a game. My patronus takes the form of a large raven. My wand is willow wood, runes or fang. ---------------------------------------------
Because you’re lonely in your nightmare let me in.
And theres the heat beneath your winter let me in.
Appearance
“I have brown hair and light brown eyes. I tend to keep my hair cut short these days. It sticks up a bit and gives me a sort of ruffled look. I don’t mind, it works for me. I have a stubbled chin which I like and don’t intend to shave any time soon but who knows? Im around five foot eleven and weigh about thirteen and a half stone. I have quite pale skin naturally but the fact I tan so easily you wouldn’t believe it. I have a large scar running down my left side of my body. I never tell anybody how I got it but that doesn’t matter. I have one of my ears pierced and since I left Hogwarts I recently got a celtic tattoo on the top of my arm. I think it’s quite cool, who knows? I prefer wearing jeans to trousers and vest tops to silky shirts. I adore my black and red jacket, I never leave home without it. Of course I’ll dress smartly if the situation calls for it but don’t expect me to do this all the time.”
I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb.
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin.
Personality
BRAINS
“I have a good set of brains, which I know can be hard to believe if you actually know me but never mind. I’m a quick thinker, I don’t usually have to concentrate too much on things and because of this it doesn’t take me long to learn new things. I’m the kind of guy who could read a passage in a book and recite it backwards to you in three or four days. I don’t usually enjoy reading, it tends to bore me. It’s probably because I only really stick to something if my mind feels challenged enough and reading words isnt exactly rocket science.”
BRAWN
“I’m quite well built so I pack a good punch when I put all of my body weight behind it. I do not however like fighting so don’t think I do. People have often said that I think with my ‘thick skull’ and that I have more brawn than brains but in fact its totally the opposite, I have more brains than brawn. It doesn’t bother me though. I’ve never really listened to what others have said about me and why should I? I hate rumours too.”
ANGER
“I’ll be the first to say I have a bad temper but when I find myself in this mood I tend to climb in bed, pull the quilt over my head and not speak to anyone, either that or I‘ll jump in the lake to cool off. Its not really usual, or it never used to be, for me to get angry but when I do I tend to say stupid things. Depending on how angry I am I‘ll either argue for hours or fight. I do try to keep my anger under control but there‘s a lot of things that wind me up and I cant always keep a lid on things.”
FUN
“I like to think I’m a loyal friend. I’ll do anything for those I care about. I can be sarcastic and dry witted sometimes but who cant? I wont frown unless I’m really stressed out or upset. I’m a good enough friend and I know how to have fun and laugh. Usually I hate being alone so I’ll surround myself with people. Though when I am alone it means I want to be left alone. I can be ditzy sometimes, I often walk into things. I’ve often been known to be a stupid genious, which is fine with me. Too much seriousness is boring.”
Please tread gently on the ground while all around you.
Earth turns to fire. Only get a second chance when dangers on the wind.
History
Born to Gary and Antonia Doyle, Alex was raised in a small Wizarding Community just outside Rhyll in Wales. Where he was raised, wasnt too far from the Muggle Community and Alex used to spend most of his time in Rhyll, rather than in the small town even he cant pronounce. Alex got along great with his Mum and Dad, who saw their son as the greatest achievement in their lives. He was sent to a Muggle Nursery in Rhyll where he met some of his good friends, some who even now he still speaks too.
When it was time to leave Nursery, stop playing with the toys and finally grow up a bit, Alex was sent to Primary School in Rhyll where all the teachers were astounded by his vocabulary and educational skills. A lot of them said he would grow up to be the next Einstien, of course, at this point Alex didnt have a clue who Einstien was and gave his teachers funny looks. When he was nine, a new girl transferred from Scotland to Rhyll, a girl called Stephanie McKyle and Alex and Steph became very good friends. Their parents used to joke that they would get married one day. Especially since Steph used to make Alex play house with her and her dolls.
When he was ten, he was allowed to roam Rhyll on his own, though usually Steph was with him. They would spend their time rock skipping or walking in the countryside, there wasnt much for two ten year olds to do, it wasnt like they were allowed in the pubs yet was it? When Alex eventually told his mother how he was growing bored, she suggested taking riding lessons. Alex was mortified and you dont want to know the comment he came out with.
Eventually his younger sister really wanted to go Horse Riding, Steph tagged along but Alex was uncomfy about it all and stayed as far away from the horses as he possibly could. He never told anyone, though Steph knew, but Alex was terrified of Horses, and these lessons wouldnt help quell that fear. His younger sister Becky seemed to not have any fear as she wanted to ride the biggest and scariest looking one there, of course she wasnt allowed on on her own and her mother and father were helping the other people get to grips with horses, so, with a sense of dread and trembling, Alex was made to ride on it with Becky. At first he felt like it was going okay, until a wasp came and got stuck in the beast's maine, buzzing loudly down its ear, causing the horse to buck and run extreamly fast. Alex and Becky fell off the horse, but Alex landed on his arm and broke it, Becky landed on Alex and fractured Alex's ankle bone.
Easy to say his fear of horses still stands.
He recieved a letter admitting him to Hogwarts for the following seven years of his life. Alex was excited about this, but didnt want to leave everyone behind. His mother told him Hogwarts was the best place he could go and that Becky would join him eventually. He went to tell Steph, who surprisingly, had recieved the very same letter.
On the train journey there, Steph went to go and meet new people but Alex stayed in his compartment when someone joined him. Her name was Girty and Alex instantly took a liking to her. The two chattered all the way there and Alex even forgot about Steph. The two seemed to get along quite well, and little did Alex know at the time, but Girty would be the most important person in his life. He met a few interesting people in Hogwarts after a few weeks, but he only really trusted Girty and Steph. He always admired Girty's strength though he often teases her, all in good fun though and likes nothing more then their jokes together and their dangerous adventures. Alex spends a lot of time with Girty and she is most certainly within his confidence.
He misses the school during holidays and his friends, though soon forgets it when he's back settled in, of course he doesnt forget them, but missing them all eases somewhat. Though when the fourth week is over, he is more than ready to leave home, usually in desperation as his little sister Becky infuriates him and he often thinks he might end up hurting her, which of course he does not want to do.
